I am 18 years old and about to graduate year 12. I am very adventurous and love animals. Next year I am taking a gap year and going backpacking around Europe because my dream is to travel the world some day. I have had at least 2 pets since I was born, including small dogs, bigger dogs, cats, chickens, goats, sheep and horses. As I have gotten older, I have become more involved in looking after our families pets, specifically our dogs and cats and I have also done cat sitting and dog sitting for families in the last couple of years. I am a firm believer that pets are a part of the family, and that they should be treated with love and respect.
